Life

Price was born in 1920 in New York City.[1]

Price experimented with Surrealism and Cubism before embracing Abstract Expressionism.[2] He first taught art in Pennsylvania,[2][3] including summer classes at Penn State Abington.[4] He later became a professor of Art at the University of Alabama.[5]

Price died in 1970 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.[1] For art critic Sarah Lansdell, "Price was not a compromiser and his works are deliberately harsh."[2]
